What:
Cinema Sporting
Where:
Place du Casino, Monaco
Information: 08 92 68 00 72 (€0.34/min)
Programme details (including French language movies)
Located in the art deco Sporting d'Hiver building in the
Place du Casino, the Cinema Sporting is Monaco's premier venue for the latest films in French plus a selection of movies screened in their
original language.
This week: Safe House and Sherlock
A new thriller starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds,
Safe House
takes place in the murky world of CIA espionage and counter-espionage,
where trust comes at a heavy price, especially when the supposed South
African safe house of the title is destroyed by armed mercenaries.
Fans of arch-sleuth
Sherlock Holmes will be delighted that the Robert
Downey-Jude Law franchise is back, with the two battling brain and brawn
against arch-nemesis Professor Moriarty in this new instalment directed by Guy Ritchie.
With no fewer than ten Oscar nominations, Michel Hazanavicius's hommage to the silent movie,
The Artist, is one of the two frontrunners in this year's competition. Although we're told that the version showing in Monaco is the French edition, that really doesn't matter in a film which itself contains no spoken dialogue - on top of which it's worth going to see for the performance of Jean Dujardin (tipped for the best actor award) and his co-star, French-Argentinian actress Berenice Bejo, alone. Also showing this the new George Clooney comedy drama set in Hawaii, in the running for five Oscars -
The Descendants.
